Zane was still fuming even after Lloyd and Loriah manage to separate him from Kai. Kai was sporting a slightly bloody nose. Jackson and Jay both then quieted down. Jackson pulled Zane out of the room and the two disappeared to somewhere. Nya and Cress then came back down.
“Is the wildness over?” Nya asked before noticing Kai
“Thank the heavens we were here, otherwise you probably would have vanished to somewhere or become an ice pop.” Loriah said as she pulled her hair into a loose ponytail
“Alrighty I geth it.” Kai said as he tried to stop the bleeding
Lloyd just stood and shook his head.
“Kai, Kai, Kai….” Lloyd said distastefully
Kai rolled his eyes just as Jackson and Zane came back.
“Alright Zane?”Jay asked
“Yes.” Zane said simply though he glared at Kai.
Sensei Wu and Cole then came down. Wu headed out towards the deck and Cole came into the kitchen. All he did was take a quick look at all of them.
“Do I even want to know?” He asked with a slight sigh
****
Sensei had the ninja pick back up on their training. He also wanted Cress to grow more accustomed to training with a team. Jay watched in amazement when she pulled out her main weapon, a Kusari-Gama.
“Whoahhhhh!” Jay exclaimed when she pulled it out
“What's the big deal?” Cress asked as she fingered the chain
“The big deal is that that is an awesome looking weapon!” Jay said as he looked at his nunchucks
Cress shrugged as a reply.
***
Almost two hours had passed before they started sparring one another. Cress noticed that Jackson was watching her very closely when she sparred Kai. Kai ended up lowering his defenses, allowing Cress to defeat him.
“Next is Loriah and Jay.” Sensei then said after Kai's defeat.
Cress walked over to Jackson while Loriah and Jay fought.
“Why were you watching me like that?” Cress asked with a mixture of suspicion and annoyance
Jackson then turned to face her, brushing his hair out of his eyes.
“First off, I can clearly tell you do not like me so no need to fake it. Second, I am sorry about our terrible introduction because my mind was elsewhere trying to fix a large mistake of mine. Third, no need to be so uptight. I am not a stalker nor do I ever plan to be one. I happen to live under the same roof as you. Fourth, I am sorry for your loss.” Jackson said with his arms loosely crossed
Cress was extremely taken back but quickly recovered.
“Who told you about that?” Cress said with a hint of anger
“Nobody.” Jackson said with a faint shrug
“Somebody told you, so who?” Cress replied
“Nobody told me anything. I wasn't told, I could see it.” Jackson said
Cress then remained silent and Jackson went on.
“I can see it in your eyes. They look sadden from within but don't want to show it externally.” Jackson finished
Cress remained silent again, listening to the yells of the others during their own matches.
“How could you possibly tell the pain I went through?” Cress questioned softly
“It is a bit of a talent I have; among many others.” Jackson answered
Cress stayed silent again.
“I’ve also been through an extremely similar situation.” Jackson added quietly
Cress gave a gentle nod
“You’ve lost your entire family?” Cress asked as she watched Zane duck from a swipe from Lloyd's katana.
Jackson gave a slight nod.
“Mhm. Around when I was 3 or 4. My home was set on fire. My mom passed first when a beam collapsed onto her. My dad managed to get out with me, but he died from all the ash within his lungs. I never got to see my 2 year old brother again, seeing that he was in the living room with my mom. I still have the marks on me from the flames.” Jackson told her
Cress then changed her mind set about Jackson; perhaps he wasn't so bad after all.
“I'm sorry. I greatly misjudged you. Maybe you and I aren't so different after all.” Cress said
“No problem. Wasn't like we had the best start off anyways.” Jackson said with a slight from
Cress nodded in agreeance
“Sometimes bright smiles hide painful secrets.” Jackson whispered to her before he headed off towards where Echo was calling his name
***
“Where are they at?” Spar asked as a paced if front of a table
“They are keeping still right now. It's seems there's another ninja recruit.” A shadow reported as he appears
“What type of ninja? How still have they been?” Spar demanded
“It seems to be a blood ninja. They’ve been still for the pass 2 days.” the shadow answered
“Only they can get them. We need this to move much faster. It's already been around 3 months.” Spar muttered to himself
“Your orders, sir?” the shadow asked
“Tell the morphs they can go to the city and have some fun. Let them know that they need to get those ninja back in action.” Spar said with a evil grin.
“Yes, sir.” the shadow said before he vanished.
****
The ninja trained for a few more hours before the howling of the bounty's alarm interrupted them.
Quickly they all headed into the control room just as Jackson and Echo were turning it off.
“What's going on?” Nya asked
“If I'm reading this right, there's kids attacking a construction site down in the city.” Jackson called off confused
“Kids?” Loriah repeated, unsure if she heard that correctly or not.
“That's what the monitor says.” Echo answered
“Well this should be pretty quick.” Kai said with a shrug
“Our dragons should be able to get there fast enough.” Cole stated
Zane eyed the screen.
“I have a feeling that there's more to this than meets the eye.” Zane said as he watched the little red dots on the screen.
“C'mon, it'll be quick. Probably just a couple troublemakers.” Jay said with a wave of his hand
“Let's go then.” Cress said
**
The ninja rode their dragons, with Cress riding with Zane.
They landed in front of the construction site. There was the out line of a building, that was halfway done though it was fully visible from all sides. There were bangs and crashes coming from inside .
“Let's get this over with.” Lloyd said
The groups then walked in. There were of around 5 boys causing mayhem. Two had black hair, one had light brown, another dark brown. They all had dark eyes and evil grins.
“Oi, looky here. It's the ninja.” one of the boys with black hair said
“Haha, now I wanna have some real fun now, eh fellas?” the light brown hair boy then said
“Well ain't that the best part of the job?” the darker brown hair boy added
“Alright kids, now you've had your fun. Time for you to get going now.” Cole said
“Who ya calling kids, emo?” one of the boys said
The ground shook softly as Cole clinched his fists
“You five are kids. Now get back to yours home before things get rough.” Kai said
All five of the boys cackled
“Things ain't got rough yet? Well then where's our fun?” the light brown hair one taunted
PIXAL then appeared on Zane's internal screen.
“Be careful, Zane. It seems these boys are more than what they look like.” PIXAL said
“I shall be careful. Thank you PIXAL.” Zane mentally replied
The five boys then all stood in a row and smirked.
“See, the problem when you're a kid is that you can't have any true fun.” One said
“Would you say it's time boys.” another said and they all nodded in agreement
The ninja then fingered their weapons, to prepare for what might happen next.
The boys then changed. Their hair and eyes stayed the same, but they became taller. Their clothing changed into dark grey pants, and navy blue short sleeved shirts.
“Gotta love bein’ a morph. Ain't that right, boys?” A black hair one called as the ninja then pulled out their weapons.
“Time for some real fun!” The light brown hair one exclaimed before all five of them attacked the ninja.
The morphs were strong and quick. The ninja managed to only keep up their defenses.
“Guys! I don't know how much longer we can keep this up for!” Jay yelled as he rapidly whipped his nunchucks around.
“We have to- ouch!” Kai exclaimed as he jumped back and grabbed his arm where he felt a prick of something.
All of others except for Lloyd, Loriah and Zane all helped in pain.
“Loriah, duck!” Lloyd yelled just before he felt a prick too
“Cress can you use your powers and make then freeze?” Zane called out as the morph broke through his ice.
Cress focused and concentrated on one of the morphs. She tried to make them stop in place, but with no luck.
“My powers won't work!” Cress yelled
“We can't hold on for much longer!” Cole called out
“Jackson!” Lloyd then called into his communicator
“Wassup?” Jackson's voice asked
“We need help, these aren't boys but morphs and our powers aren't working!” Lloyd yelled as he ducked
Jackson then called for some inaudible in the background.
“Kay, whose powers still work?” Jackson's voice asked
“I think Loriahs and Zane's.” Lloyd answered as he and the others started to run up the stairs, still being chased by the morphs.
There was a slamming of a door.
“Alright, all of you get to the top floor of the building and lemme know when your there.” Jackson's voice instructed through all the communicators
The ninja then ran faster up the stairs until they were to the top, about four stories high. There were yells from the morphs close behind.
“Jack, we're here!” Zane called as he looked around.
“Good! If my calculations are right I’ll be there when you get to the bottom. All of you jump, now!” Jackson's voice called
“WE ARE FOUR STORIES HIGH AND YOU WANT US TO JUMP!?” Jay screamed
“My gosh Jay, could you be any louder!? Geez! Zane jump in front and make an ice ramp, the rest of you follow behind him. Loriah, stay in the back and use your fire and melt the ice as you go down. Do it now!” Jackson's voice commanded
They ninja then did it just as the morphs caught up. Zane used his powers midair, and created a ramp that they slid down on. Loriah was in the rear. She used her fire, which was midnight blue, and melted the ice; preventing the morphs from following.
They quickly made it down just as a bright yellow Camaro with a black stripe down the middle, came to a screeching halt in front of them. The doors swung open.
“Get in.” Jackson said with a grin as he sat in the driver's seat
The doors slammed shut and Jackson slammed on the gas pedal.
“Where did you get this from!?” Loriah asked
“What do you expect a guy to do when he can't sleep?” Jackson answered with a smirk
He then glanced up in the mirror and saw five black Challengers close behind; we no driver in the driver seat.
“Ah crap.” Jackson said as the challengers steadily drove faster
Jackson flipped a switch and the car then went faster.
“Alright so here's what I need for guys to do.” Jackson said as he weaved through other cars and trucks
“Kay, we are gonna head to the outskirts, I know a shortcut. When I say so, Loriah and Zane use your ice and freeze the whole ground. Cole, Jay, Lloyd, and Kai, each of you has a switch right above yours head, when I give you the que flip them at the same time. Cress and Nya, there a blue button in front of each of you two; when I give you the signal to both of you press the button.” Jackson said as he watched the Challengers in the mirror.
He then swerved down an alleyway and cut up a street; and they were then in the outskirts.
“NOW!”
A/N: Alright, I am going to be real here. Jackson's car is actually one of my personal favorites. I have a strong liking of Camaros. I think it may have something to do with Bumblebee.......😁
